Hello. This isn't strictly a RB related question but indirectly it is. I want to make a new font and have downloaded font forge. I use cygwin. X starts OK but when I start fontforge nothing happens. I searched the internet but there are no real clues. Has anybody experienced this and knows how to fix the problem?

so ive got the broken iriver 140 and broken iaudio x5 I was able to open mycreative zen (it works) vision m 30 gigger I want to test the other two devices by putting the zens hdd in, is this safe or do i need to format after I backup this drive?

So... There's no way I can distribute them at all? Like, not even under some hyper-restrictive license? It would be incredibly difficult to find the sources for the two pictures that the backdrops are made from.

hi, I'm trying to use the rockbox instructions to convert my 2GB ipod nano to vfat and I dded the proper image to it. But now sfdisk says the 2nd partition extends beyond the end of the disk and I can't format and mount the second partition vfat, anyone have an idea of whats going on?

JdGordon: Have you taken the simple step of writing a small routine to output the X and Y value, and then the y/(LCD_HEIGHT/3 and x/(LCD_WIDTH/3 to make sure nothing weird is happening simply with the values?

webguest36: What you need to do is turn hold on then off again, then hold Menu+Select for up to 30 seconds. If this doesn't work, keep trying it. As long as the battery isn't dead, it should eventually work.

Question (2) is related to disk_buf.c. I tried to find the place where buffering stops because of buffer full, but failed. When the buffer gets full, it should call rb->ata_sleep(); like the music playback engines do

My other question is related to interrupts - do you know the maximum allowed latency for FIQ on the PP502x targets? I did some further experiments with clock skipping, and found that if you use PROC_SLEEP and PROC_WAIT_CNT together, it waits until *both* conditions become true, instead of either one

I think that even if only 1 microsecond is acceptable, using clock skipping is beneficial, because 1 microsecond is already either 30 or 80 clock cycles. But I think the acceptable latency is larger than 1 usec

But since the latter is only filled by the CPU (grey_ub_*() functions write directly to the value buffer), and also grey_update_rect() is also only called by the CPU, the chunky buffer doesn't need to be uncached

I mean, I know they're apps, but I've used the default ipod os for some time (due to linux being my only known alternative, and I've dreaded even looking at their table mentioning what's still broken), so there are things I'm used to ;)

that's not really a rockbox question... you can use any software on your PC that you want. I'm sure google can offer you tips on what software to use to make .m3u playlists. Last time I did that, I used Winamp. Does this help you?

amiconn: you can compare the test_codec results vs. needed MHz while playback. there is a residual CPU-load which I assume to being mostly needed for dsp and pcm_pp. dsp needs about 1MHz, overall "residual" is about 2.5 MHz now (was ~2.9 MHz) before

linuxstb: Just a quick one: Play some music (dircache disabled). Wait until the disk has spun down, and then enter some browser, so that the disk needs to spin up again. Check whether this produces a short dropout

^ the above patch is a work-in-progress that implements some of the apple accessory communication protocol. If you have such an accessory, please try the patch and provide feedback on how well it works (if it works!)

linuxstb: You are smart. My 5.5g 80GB won't work because rockbox.ipod can't be found and I can't mount /dev/sdc2 because "mount: /dev/sdc2: can't read superblock" and I can't fdisk the device because "Error: Unable to open /dev/sdc2 - unrecognised disk label"

linuxstb: won't make that mistake again, which is good because now I need to do the same thing to my 30gb 4th gen colour. ALthough there's no mbr file for it on the wiki. Where do I get an MBR for this ipod?

Bagder: okok, I am trying to learn, understand... so I think I must know why that hello world example code does want to use the arm-linux-gcc... Bagder, I am looking for an simple example code to flash a LED, do you know where I can get one? like a tutorial?

linuxstb: I have a very similar problem with a 4th gen 30GB now and I really don't want to brick this one. fdisk -l /dev/sdc is returning the error "Error: Unable to open /dev/sdc - unrecognised disk label."

Bagder: okok, I must read carefully the manual, as for now I just saw the hello world example as an application - and yes, LEDs depeds on dev. board hardware... I can use the "hello world" message as a test also −− soon I will start on LCD :-) −− thank you :-)
